I'm staying at my daughter's for a couple of days. She has a little annex that the foster children move into to get them ready to live independently. It's just two rooms and a bathroom, I brought my own kettle so I can make a cuppa.
I've had fun as it needs a bit of a clean and there is stuff that previous foster children have left behind when they moved out. So I've been sorting and cleaning, interspersed with reading my kindle and doing some sewing.
Beano is quite content, he's currently snoozing beside me. I can take him for a walk around the streets or we can go to the park without risking the busy road where I live. It's very quiet here with only a few cars. Beano's a bit confused by the lack of food, just his standard two meals. No endless treats from Steve.
Cass is happy for me to visit again to have a break from Steve and his endless complaining. We went to the local village fete, I bought some smelly candles and lip balm. I'm going home tomorrow, not particularly looking forward to it but the break has done me good.

I'm so glad you've had a break with Beano.
It is good to hear that you enjoyed the rest and respite🙏. Jan in CG
Wonderful that you have a place to go to replenish your spirit for a few days. You certainly deserve a break once in a while!
Certainly good to have a "bolt hole" that you can escape to when things get too much for you and Beano.
I hope Steve has had time to reflect what life would be like without you.
Could you not squat and refuse to go.
I’m in a similar situation to you. You have to live it to know it. It’s so good you are having this break…to help you to keep going. It’s exhausting mentally and physically. Enjoy.x June
So glad you have been able to have some time in a quiet place with your daughter. Catriona
It seems both you and Beano needed a break. Maybe this is something you could do more often? That might help you and Beano cope with Steve without it being so painful and difficult for you. I am so glad you were able to do this. Bless your daughter for making it available to you. Ranee (MN) USA
Good to hear that you have had an enjoyable break ,with Beano of course. I know you have to go back but I hope it has revitalised you. Carole R
Glad you have a place for a little getaway. Take care of yourself.
How lovely to have somewhere to ‘escape’ to and it was not being used at the moment. Perhaps you could make it a regular place for you and Beano to visit. Best wishes, as ever, from NI x
Do it as often as you can! It’s wonderful.
That sounds ideal - I wish I had a daughter to visit - I don't think I'd want to leave though x
Enjoy your break and the peace. Maybe Steve will even appreciate you on your return! Anna 💕💕
SO glad you are resting with Betty! You both deserve it!
What a sweet daughter...
hugs
Donna
